Hi TTF members,
My name is Dan. I live on a small ranch in Ellis County, Texas. My purpose in joining the forum is to get some advice on selling my Dad's old Toyota truck. Dad bought this truck new in '86 right before he retired. Since he never drove it to work he did not put many miles on it. He passed away in '98 and I kept it for sentimental reasons. I registered it until 2000 and used it to get feed and such. After that I just used it for a ranch mule around the place and did not bother to register it. It ran fine until about two or three years ago. The wife and I went on a two week RV trip and when I returned I found that squirrels had damaged (destroyed) the wiring in the Toyota. (They had also damaged her Jeep and my old Super Duty.) I had always planned on restoring Dad's truck myself but never quite made the time to tackle it. The truth of the matter is that I don't have the necessary skill set to do the work. Anyway, it has just been sitting by my barn since then. I have finally convinced myself to get rid of it however I would prefer that someone get it that will take the time to get it back on the road. A buddy that used to be a hot-rodder suggested I contact a Toyota forum before I just list it on Craig's List. If nobody on the forum needs a project, I would appreciate any suggestions as to the amount I should list it for. As I said, it is not currently running. The upside is that it has fewer than 65,000 miles on it. If I can figure it out I will add a couple of pictures to this post. Thanks for any input you can provide.
Regards,
Dan
